Before delving into the final project for this unit we should spend some time learning about what kinds of things can be done to enhance human development at various stages. That is, it is good to know what can and cannot be done at certain stages of development (see Piaget), and there are things that must be addressed successfully at certain stages (see Erickson et al.), but what can be done to enhance the development that occurs at any one of the many stages mentioned by Piaget and Erickson. Thus we will be looking at generating some activities that can be used to help children along in their growth. Welcome to Summer Camp.
